It's never too early to start shopping for the holiday season, especially when you have the likes of River Island's New Baroque Collection on the rack! Honestly, the collection has me floored to the extent that I decided to dedicate this post entirely to one High Street store that is clearly High Fashion :) Clockwise: Black Embellished Maxi Dress, Gold Luxury Embellished Collar, Black Baroque Embroidered Alice Band, Black Mettalic Baroque Prom Dress, Black Print Box Clutch Bag, Black Embellished Sandals.

The Colour Palette is inspired by a Pakistani Artist Babar Azeemi's Painting from his Collection Titled 'Wajood e Zan' (the existence of woman). The palette mixes tough fabrics like leather with the softness and femininity of lace and sequins. Babar Azeemi's paintings are on sale at Ejaz Gallery. To learn more about Babar Azeemi visit Danka.
